Hi Matt, I was taking a look on v2v to implement vSphere and I have few questions: 1) the converter should be in: Sys::VirtConvert::Converter::VMWare ( or Vsphere) ? 2) What you think if instead to mess up with the xml converter we gonna use a XSL file that take the OVF file and transform it in KVM like xml file ?

I answered this one separately. I don't recommend doing a full XSL transformation as we don't need all the data in the file. Cherry picking with XPath will be sufficient. This is what we do with the libvirt format.

What Perl library would you use for the XSL transforms? Adding new dependencies can be problematic (I'm thinking from a RHEL point of view specifically, but also in general it adds a burden).
